[QUOTE="Squints, post: 826618, member: 822"] Per your own words you can't get beat out of the job because you're injured. I've shown you a half dozen examples and now you're changing your story. If Yates is just ok or not very good I'm sure Sims will definitely get his shot as he should. That's not what I'm arguing about. And for the record I don't think Yates' performance at Clemson is enough to move on from Sims and I've said as much previously. But, for example, if Yates throws for 300+ and 4 TDs for the next couple of games if Sims can't play he probably won't. Even if he's better in practice. I think this is where our fundamental disagreement is. You think you're 100% gonna get that shot to earn your job back when you're healthy. I don't think that's the case if the person who replaced you is playing better than you did when you were healthy or even just playing well at the moment. We've seen it happen. And I'm not sure why you're pulling the 'were you in the practices afterwards?' card. You weren't there either so you have just as much of a leg to stand on as I do on that front. Fair enough. But it's not really that unique. I gave you a half dozen examples. Would you like another one? Steve Young gets hurt in 1991. Steve Bono comes in and plays well enough to keep the job after Young is healthy. Young only got the job back that year because Bono himself got hurt in the second to last game of the season. He had a 101.8 passer rating that year and still didn't get his job back. I'd love to hear his thoughts. But I'm sure he's got better things to do then weigh in on a conversation between a couple of internet randos. Sports coaches are one of the most full of **** professions I've ever dealt with. Particularly the lower the level you go. What they say doesn't hold much water for me and I give more weight to what they actually do when they have skin in the game. Bottom line is that just because you think a player is going to get the opportunity to keep their job and a bunch of coaches of little to no consequence say so doesn't make it so. [/QUOTE]
